And if people were to grow their own, it would be nearly impossible to tax and people could compete with corporations/businesses interested in growing and selling it.
I'm convinced those reasons are why marijuana is not legalized or decriminalized. If Government knew it could make tons of tax money off it and businesses could reap untold profits, like with cigarettes and alcohol, marijuana would have been (re)legalized a long, long time ago.
Full legalization would allow people to grow their own. No crime associated with that.

Really? Can you grow your own tobacco? Can you distill your own booze?
Not without a ton of gubmint interference, you can’t.
And the same thing would happen if ever pot was legalized. If you think Big Brother would let you grow a few plants in your back yard without taxing them, then you are missing the point.
The main point of legalizing dope is to tax it and increase the size of government.
Again... just like with tobacco and booze.
But libertarians (who claim they are for smaller government) are too stupid to realize that.
